Their reputation as a fresh and dynamic live act has seen them established on the Scottish festival scene, and taken them to festivals in Spain, France, England, Ireland, Belgium, Norway, USA and Canada, including two trips to the Cannes film festival, a week in Austin, Texas and an appearance at the 2008 Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton. A third Saltfishforty album is in preproduction and will be released early in 2009. -- Artist's website, http://www.saltfishforty.co.uk/.
